What about upvote bots? They are doing exactly what you are describing - vote farming. Many users offer rewards of SBD/STEEM to the upvote bots. Should the use of upvoting bots be discouraged on Steem?

Yes, I support the absolute removal of bid bots from the Steem ecosystem.
I believe bid bots are contrary to meritocractic rewards and the ideal of Steem being an equal voice platform ever being achieved.
It is one of the more difficult problems to address on the platform. I plan to write more about that and also the problem of cliques of corporatized interest engaging in circular voting among other things.
another good point
Thanks @r35157nc3!
Thanks for bringing that to my awareness!
